Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

The Diddy verdict was one of the biggest stories of the week as after a month-long Federal trial the jury acquitted him of the three most serious charges, and found him guilty on two lesser charges involving prostitution.  Although he avoided a potential life in prison sentence, Diddy is still facing 20 possible years behind bars which breaks down to 10 years for each conviction.  Here’s what we know.  While Diddy was relieved that he was acquitted of the most serious charges, he is getting ready to both appeal the conviction on technical grounds, and as we previously told you, he has friends reaching out to Donald Trump in hopes of getting pardoned.  My source says that Diddy still has some friends in high places – so don’t be too shocked if the pardon happens before a long drawn out appeal!

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, was in the news when she spoke out about her roller coaster recovery after bowing out of a recent scheduled public appearance.  We just heard that Kate, who has remained tight lipped about her actual illness, is now making arrangements for a sit down interview with the BBC where she will reveal her exact diagnosis and prognosis.  While speaking so publicly about something so private is out of character for the Royal Family, my source says that Kate has been pushing for this,  but wanted the blessing of her notoriously private father-in-law, King Charles, before giving and interview and he finally gave his permission.

Khloe Kardashian made some headlines when she revealed the litany of plastic surgery procedures she’s gone under since bursting onto the spotlight years ago.  Khloe not only posted her procedures, but also tagged the doctors and medical professionals who administered them.  We know this.  Despite the seemingly long list, a well placed source says that Khloe left OUT a few surgical procedures from a top Beverly Hills physician that is a go to doc for her family.  Since medical procedures are confidential,  all we will say is that she allegedly had some work done below the belt, so use your imagination.

Wendy Williams was seen out and about this week and we just heard this update about her ongoing legal battle to get her conservatorship removed.  Lately, Wendy has been granted more and more freedom which is why she was seen having dinner with friends in New York City. Wendy is still pursuing her legal options, but for the time being she doesn’t want to rock the boat too much – since she has been granted more freedoms.  Long story short, we heard that these newfound freedoms are part of a trial run and if Wendy continues to do well,  she might get her wish and have the conservatorship removed.

Yikes!  The boys were at it again with Elon Musk going hard against Donald Trump’s big beautiful bill and Trump threatening to look into DEPORTING Elon.  Here’s what we know.  Behind very closed doors, Elon has been quietly reaching out to powerful DEMOCRATS and is offering to finance a coalition to IMPEACH Trump!  Elon is vowing to donate MILLIONS if he can persuade enough politicians to launch a recall campaign.

Bryan Kohberger made unexpected news when he changed his not guilty plea to guilty, admitting to the murder of four University of Idaho students. Once the trial judge denied his lawyers’ request to point the finger at other potential suspects, it became apparent his legal options were limited, and that’s what likely prompted the guilty plea. Here’s what we know.  Hollywood is already scrambling to secure the rights to the case and it’s very likely to happen since all monies paid to Bryan for his story will automatically go to the victims families.  We hear Glee and American Crime Story producer Ryan Murphy is already contemplating securing the rights.

The dust has finally settled on wedding of the decade, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venetian nuptials and we know this.  Because of the expected backlash, many of the guests who RSVP’D yes backed out at the last minute – which is the REAL reason Lauren’s gal pal, Eva Longoria, skipped the event, claiming she had a work conflict for her CNN series on Spain.  That’s why some last minute guests were added. Long story short, the attendees who DID show up were a far cry from some of the A-listers who were committed to attend but decided to beg off.
